PETER SOLNESS: ILLUMINATED LANDSCAPES

There’s something eerily beautiful about Peter’s images. His night photography collection has won him the coveted 2010 NSW Parliamentary Plein Air Photographic Prize and he’s sharing his series Illuminated Landscapes at the Centennial Parklands this summer. “This is a wonderful space. Much of my new works have been created in the park and there is a wonderful sense of harmony between the works and the surrounding environment. For example, visitors can witness an image of one of the park’s grand fig trees and literally step out the door and see the real thing. You can’t always get that sort of proximity in a gallery space,” says Solness.
